IV.Reading
Read the passage carefully. Then choose the correct answer.
 
Tigers are one of the most powerful and graceful animals in the world. The
different species that still exist today, namely the Bengal, Indochina, Siberian,
South China and Sumatra tigers are in danger of becoming extinct. Due to
irresponsible hunting, the Bali, Caspian and Java tigers have already become
extinct. This could soon happen to the other species too.

In the past, tigers were considered as pests. With a smaller area to hunt, as man
had taken up more of the land to build upon, the tigers found less areas for
themselves to hunt. They thus turned to farms to get their food. Farmers'
livestock were attacked by these tigers. People were then encouraged to hunt
and kill these animals with the promise of rewards. Even after the threat of
tigers on livestock was over, man continued to hunt tigers, this time for
recreation. Poachers too hunt tigers for their body parts knowing that the skin
of tigers is much sought after. Bones and other organs are also used as
ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine. Although killing tigers is illegal, it
is still being carried out and unless it is stopped, the remaining species of tigers
will soon become extinct too.
